When you think of Rieslings you think Germany, not Italy,
but in fact Rieslings are produced worldwide.
D’Arrigo’s Riesling is produced in the Veneto region in northeast Italy.
It is aged for 4-5 years after gently
pressing whole grape at low temperatures and fermented in steel tanks. It is harvested mid-September and bottled the
end of March.
